Harley Hack

Saw this in a Walmart parking lot today. Thought it looked pretty cool. It is a Harley Sportster with a Liberty Sidecar. Looks like a fun little ride.

Hey, nice photo angle!! Makes that Jeep grille and headlights look like it's part of the windscreen...

LOL....didn't even see that. Pretty well centered huh?

does Vetter still make Windjammer fairings? Sure looks like one.

I don't know. I was trying to remember what brand it looked like. I knew it wasn't Windjammer. Thanks for reminding me. It was driving me nuts.

That sure looks like a Windjammer but the logo is wrong. Maybe a copy or newer repro. The original Vetter has been gone for quite a while. I'm not sure if anyone is reproducing them or not. The cool thing about the Windjammer series is any fairing will fit any bike. Just have to have the right mounting bracket. I bought a Yamaha XJ750 Maxim with a WJ2 and picked up a mount for my GS850 from ebay and it bolted right up.

 

Tha bad thing about the Windjammer series is that you have to remove the factory head light and turn signals.

Looks to be a Windjammer SS. the decal is simply "sportster" I think. Does look pretty nice. I had the Windjammer fairing on a couple bikes back in the day. I can say they were probably one of the best built aftermarket items on the market.

The decal did indeed say sportster. I just assumed that he had added the decal because he mounted it on a Sportster, shows what I know.

Vetter did the Factory fairings for the early Gold Wings and a couple other bikes. I'm not sure if they ever did a factory fairing for Harley Davidson or not.

 

Here's a great web site with tons of info on Craig Vetter and his designs/inventions
